This is a good gun for starters. Overall the price is great. If you use HPA right away you wont have problems with the gun. Everyone should be going to HPA anyways. Good starter gun gives a feel of a electronic gun and I say just prepares you on how to maintain and keep your next gun in good shape. Upgrade to a electronic hopper.

Good gun

I've used this gun a lot with CO2, and I am DEFENETLY upgrading to HPA. When you use CO2, the gun gets a lot condensation on it after about 100 shots. Also, the smallest O-ring in the front grip of the gun breaks when rapidly firing the gun. I went through 3 O-rings in one day. Other than that, this is a good beginner gun for someone who wants to get into paintball because it is very accurate, it gives you a lot more shots because of the eco-valve it has, lightweight and short, easy to take care of, and the ramp psp mode (ramps up to 15 balls per second when pulling the trigger 3 balls per second) and ramp millinium (same thing but ramps it up to 13 balls per second) helps you to learn to walk the trigger. I would recommend this gun to a BEGINNER and a BEGINNER ONLY!

Not to shabby for a NEWB

This gun for the price is not bad at all, it does not like CO2 at all but rarely chopped balls with me. I had one major issue with the striker bolt, when I turned up the velocity on the rear of the gun I couldn't get the screw to come back out so it was stuck at that velocity and when I went to shoot the gun, CO2 started gushing out the side of the reg. and I agree with Ryan, the battery does make the grips bulge out. Other than them two things it's a decent gun

Not a good investment

February 20, 2012

Reviewer:
Ryan Mayo from Sacramento, CA United States

Issues I ran into:-Trigger needed adjustment out of the box b/c the very front of the trigger pull too stiff for my liking. It also had a lot of side to side movement-Grip frames are flimsy. When I tightened down the screws, it left an imprint that outlined the battery. Part of the frame bulges out where the battery is-Screw that tightens the feed neck is short. I backed out the screw enough to fit my loader in and the it slid out. This happened to me several times until I lost it at the field. Replaced w/ hose clamp-I put 3 cases of paint through it (2 cases DXS Basic, 1 case PWI Bombz) and chopped balls frequently. I backed down the settings on my loader (1/3/2) and lowered my velocity (didn't chrono after, was ~220 out of the box). I cleaned everything out before each game and made sure the eyes worked but still chopped at least 10 times per pod. I switched to a gravity loader and I still chopped paint. Tested the paint in an old Spyder Victor and did not chop at all.

great starter gun, for those thats just starting out in paintball or been playing for a year or so i recomend getting this gun.

Pros:

Great priceeasy to clean and take apartair effeicent with co2spyder are pretty reliable nice design

Cons:

trigger needs to be adjustedno on/off asaplastic trigger framebarrel is good but if you want upgrade for woodsball ( i bought an invert 14 inch whisper barrel with this)

So you get what you pay for this gun overall a good begginers gun/ also pretty nice for some intermediate players. I have a review on youtube look up 2012 spyder fenix youtube name is "sonphan100"

spyder fenix 2012

Reviewer:

This Spyder fenix is a awesome gun for the price range!! I love this gun. It is very light and it shoots pretty fast. The only thing I don't like about this gun is that the handle is very cheap feeling. But that is a easy fix. For 150 bucks you can't beat it !!!!

ok gun

This is an ok gun i guess, used it for a day it was meh. I would recommend an azodin blitz, much better gun withing very close price range 10 to 20 dollars difference. If you want mike from techpb did a great review on the blitz.
